I need a Desktop X Sun that becomes into a Moon as the day passes

jmender

I AM A NEWCOMER TO DESKTOPX WIDGETS AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IN MY DESKTOP SOMETHING LIKE A BIG ICON OF A SUN THAT BECOMES INTO A MOON AS THE DAY PASSES, I DO NOT WANT AN ANIMATED SUN THAT MOVES AROUND THE SCREEN I WANT THE OBJECT TO STAY FIXED IN ONE CONER OF THE SCREEN. DOES ANYBODY COULD HELP ME IN DOING THIS OBJECT?

This is very simple... You only need to know the longtitude and latitude of your city to calculate sunrise/sunset time to change the state of your icon. Use the Google and you'll find tens of examples. Your script will be about 100 lines total...

Regarding the reply from Vad_M I think the best solution is to create an static icon of a sun that at 07.00 PM changes its state and becomes a moon and maybe this icon could be accompanied with a clock or a text date. The solution of scripting 100 lines seems impossible to me.

This is much different than your imnitial request.

Your initial rquest involved finding sunrise and sunset for your location, having an image that changed the amount of sun/moon percentage as the day changed.

Yes, Zubaz, the first thing is having clear what do you want, and the second how to express it correctly in English, and the third one having some knowledge of vbscript. Well, I do not know anything about vbscripting and my English is not perfect. Sorry and thanks for your patience.

What I need to do is as follows: I have some pngs with images of the sun and some of the moon and i want to create an static icon with a text clock or date or calendar or with all together that simply changes the png for example every hour or every two hours just to show the part of the day according to the local time of my computer (i.e. the morning, the afternoon, the night, the dusk, the dawn).

For example at 6. a.m the icon shows a sun with some mist at 12. p.m. a complete sun at 6. p.m the icon changes and shows half a moon and at 12.00 a.m. a full moon. Something that for you it's easy but difficult for me. I have been trying different ways with desktop x but i've been unable to find the solution.

I do not want to have any exact phase of the moon or exact position of the sun or icons running around the desktop.

I have seen good examples of rotating moon and the blue marble in the wincustomize galleries. It is something similar to that but does not need to be animated, just to show the time and date and to change its look depending on the hour of the day.

It's just to have some eyecandy in the desktop and such a kind of different clock to use instead the weather widgets now that i have decided to delete all of them from my hard drive due to all the problems they have caused recently.

To change the look you can either use multiple states and switch between those, or just change the png on one state. In the example below, the object has one state and the images are included as custom files (Properties > Summary > Custom Files) The script simply gets the image from where it's stored (Object.directory) and applies it to the state.

And if you ever intend to do a new image every hour (for a total of 24 images), you can streamline the code further by naming each image according to the hour, e.g. "12AM.png" , "3PM.png", including them as custom files, and using this script:

I,ve tried to put all your scripts together but nothing works. This is because I do not have any notion about vbscripting.

I,ve been playing with macosx clock from julyness http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=4122&libid=3 and the only thing i have got is to change the clock face at 12 am and 12 pm, this means two only states and two only clock faces.

Nevertheless this is more or less what i need. That's a digital text clock (not analog) that has 24 states (one for every hour of the day), every state has a png associated that changes every hour. I have been messing around with the internal script of the above mentioned widget but i cannot figure how to add to the script these 24 states.

As this widget is intended to be for personal use only, i request you if posible to be so kind to inform me or provide me with the full script. Believe me i,ve been trying for hours but i have been unable to find any solution.
